Mt. Tado hike (403m)

Mt. Tado was a great hike....minded the heat wave, though. But we were compensated by a nice swimming area where we had lunch and went swimming. Visiting Tado Shrine was an interesting way to end this hike. It couldn't have been more fun. Thank you guys.

Mt. Ishizu and Mt. Tado

We did another lovely hike today. 13 of us covered 10k taking in 2 peaks, climbing to 650m. At the end of the hike was a really interesting temple complex. A priest blesses cars and a horse is housed in a shrine. For 100 yen I took a stick with the number "15" on it. Narita-san and Chiho translated my fortune for me. I would have good luck on a long journey, I must study harder and I will find something that I have lost. I tied the paper to the fence with all the other fortunes. Back in the town of Tado we found a beer hall specialising in the local organic brews. Makes a change from a doughnut shop!

Here are the photos from today.
